He did very well in his first season, took over when they were 16th and missed out on the play-offs on goal difference. On that you would have thought they would be up there around the play-offs.

Precisely. The squad is full of Championship players and, as Holloway was responsible for assembling that squad, he's failed in his role. You can argue about budgets, but Bruce has done a marvellous job at Hull in comparison and it's not as if Holloway hasn't had any money to spend, he just chose to spend it on French defenders that were then not even included in the 25 and later bombed out of the club.
By Holloway's own admission he was out of his depth in the Premier League, and I'd say he's correct. His tactics, team selection, squad management and recruitment policy have all fallen far short of the required calibre, and Palace have done the right thing in getting rid of him now, affording the new manager the time to analyse the squad and target January transfers (although, I might recommend the new man look at a new defender or six).

Easy one to say but O'Driscoll at Bristol City is skating on thin ice, somewhat!
Cant see many League 2 managers getting the chop for a while for various reasons! I'd say Lee Clark at Brum could be the next one to go or perhaps Dave Jones at Sheff Weds?! They need some solidarity at that club as they've done so much yo-yo'ing between the 2nd and 3rd tier recently! Bolton have drawn 7 games already this season and thus havent lost too many so can see them sticking with Dougie (For now!)

Oh no he won't.
Makes Fulham's next couple of games,home to Swansea,a bogey team and away to WHU, a bit tricky though.

Fulham's new owner doesn't seem to have a trigger finger, but that does seem a strange one. Although Meulensteen is a highly regarded coach and I doubt any manager would be too unhappy for him to come in to help as long as it isn't an attempt to push them out.

Older Fulham fans (like me) will remember Dave Sexton being appointed as coach (under Vic Buckingham,IIRC) saving the club from relegation from Division 1 (as it then was) and not ending up with the Fulham manager's job, (he went on to Chelsea).
However I tend to agree with Jam Man on this one.Sooner or later it looks inevitable.

If Meulensteen was as instrumental to Manchester United's success as he likes to point out, you'd have thought he would've received more of a mention in Ferguson's most recent book than he did. I'm not doubting his abilities as a coach - players who've worked with him all lavish him with praise - but apart from a very misguided spell at Anzhi, his managerial expertise extends as far as an ill-fated spell at Brondby and a few years spent knocking about Qatar.

Agreed - although from what I hear Ferguson didn't mention Mark Hughes even once either. It wouldn't be like Fergie to use his book for petty point scoring though. Ahem.

If I were in Martin Jol's shoes I'd be Martin Jol and therefore would be bloody delighted 24 hours a day.
